Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has pleaded with the High Court to pardon him after he was found guilty of contempt, saying he is remorseful and committed to upholding the rule of law.
Duale appeared before Justice Patricia Nyaundi of the Milimani High Court on Tuesday for mitigation and sentencing after the court found him in contempt over the establishment of an Ebola quarantine facility in Nanyuki airbase, despite two existing court orders stopping the process.
The CS was accompanied by senior officials from the Ministry of Health, including Principal Secretary Ouma Oluga, Mary Muthoni, Technical Director-General of Health Dr Patrick Amoth and Director of Public Health Maureen Kanene.
